Damn, I was sure my ideal job was out there. Will have to settle for Training/support for now....

BTW did the travelling thing for a while and the money runs out eventually.....

Heh... That bad huh? Most of the jobs available in my country nowadays require at LEAST 3 years of experience and with some sort of certification. Not sure whether it's the same thing in other parts of the world; but certification means a whole lot to employers here even though there are TONNES of braindump sites around....

yeah, its increasingly like that in the UK too, although the old adage still works.... " It aint what you know its who you know that matters"

to be honest I have noticed an upturn. I'm freelance but work as part of a cooperative, and have been quiet since the turn of the year. In the last couple of weeks there has been a lot more work about, this last week I've had offers for 3 different contracts, so it looks like i'll be busy for the rest of the year , not sure I want to be though .

I just can't help feeling that with spring in the air, all the trees starting to bud, flowers in bloom, lambs gambling in the fields..... that I can be optimistic about the future (and my credit cards are gonna get paid off!).
